An Object Tracking Proposal Using Edge Computing

Abstract


The science and technology field has been advancing over time, and people surround themselves with computer systems, which help them in their routines. This paper presents the results of developing an approach to detect and track people at edge computing. The system runs on a Raspberry Pi 3B board and monitors the environment with the support of a camera. An interface was built that analyses the flow of people using a particular staircase. Information such as calories expended, effort, or activity time are offered to users in return for using the stairs.

Keywords: Edge Computing, People Tracking, Caloric Calculations
